Soup Du Jour Recipe

Sauté Vegetables

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft.

Add Garlic and Seasonings

Stir in the minced garlic, bay leaf, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Simmer the Soup

Pour in the vegetable broth and add the diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes.

Finish and Serve

Remove the bay leaf, stir in the chopped parsley, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot.
